FPO Magazine Becomes Occasional

Until further notice, FPO will suspend its quarterly publication schedule and produce occasional issues. We appreciate all of our subscribers for your loyalty and contributions, and hope to offer future FPO's on when we can produce them on an issue-by-issue basis. There is still lots of content that we haven't gotten to, and the changing world of magazines needs a design advocate. Back issues of our first seven issues are still available for purchase, and fpomagazine.com will continue. We will also be keeping the discussion alive on our LinkedIn page.

Issue #7

FPO's Magazine Bestiary

Bestiary: A medieval collection of stories providing physical and allegorical descriptions of real or imaginary animals along with an interpretation of the moral significance each animal was thought to embody.

About [FPO], the First Publication
for Magazine Creatives

We are convinced of a strong need for a publication that
focuses on editorial, design and production for magazine professionals
who want to make their titles the best they can. A publication that's devoted to increasing the creativity, quality and value
of your magazine.

The result of our conviction is [FPO]—For Publications
Only. Every issue features profiles of influential publication
designers and their process and product; advice on improving your creativity,
productivity and enjoyment at work; and practical procedures for improving
every aspect of your title — from the front cover to the back of
the book.

We want [FPO] to be your resource for information
and referral. There are reviews of new software and hardware, as well
as creative evaluations of fonts and stock art sources.

Finally, we are hoping that [FPO] and this accompanying
website will become a community resource where readers have access to
exclusive content, such as expert advice, and shared font, photo and template
libraries.
